A 14-year-old girl was sexually assaulted by a middle-aged man on a London bus, police said.

Detectives today released CCTV of a man wanted in connection with the incident on a route 436 bus in Park Lane, central London.

A Scotland Yard spokesman said the girl was "sexually touched" by a man at around 4pm on Tuesday, February 24.

He added: "The suspect is described as a middle-aged Asian man, with short dark hair, balding at the top. He was wearing a hooded sweatshirt and a black rucksack.

"Unwanted sexual behaviour on the transport network is not tolerated and all sexual offences are taken very seriously."

Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Constable Clare Beauchamp, who is leading the investigation, on 07920 590195.

Alternatively, they can call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111, quoting reference 173251.
